The risk of systemic absorption is greater in the area of the face. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects and for that reason, they are administered in cases of eczema and dermatitis. However, their action has to be limited to the affected skin areas (the target organ) and not the systemic organs. The skin of the face is not as thick as on the rest of the body, so applying the corticosteroid cream on this area increases the risk of the absorption of the drug in the systemic circulation.

Answer/Explanation:

In humans, we breathe in oxygen via the respiratory system. The oxygen enters the lungs. The air sacs in the lungs - the alveoli - are the site of gas exchange in the lungs and are where the circulatory and respiratory systems interact.

The alveoli take in the oxygen, where it diffuses into the capillaries (circulatory system). Blood, which passes through the capillaries takes this oxygen to all the cells in the body. Oxygen binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells, which transport it around the body.

Additionally, blood also transports carbon dioxide back to the alveoli of the lungs, where it diffuses into the lungs and is expelled when we breathe out

An explanation of convection
dybincka [34]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.

How do autotrophs obtain energy? How do heterotrophs obtain energy?
antiseptic1488 [7]
Autotrophs, by definition, are organisms that are able to internally manufacture their own food. Autotrophs, also known as producers, are organisms that obtain their energy by converting light energy into chemical energy, via photosynthesis. Photosynthesizing plants are an example of autotrophs. 

Heterotrophs, by definition, are organisms that are unable to internally manufacture their own food. Heterotrophs, also known as consumers, are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. Humans are an example of heterotrophs.
